# New York Time Cycles Indicator

## Overview
The Time Cycles indicator is a specialized technical analysis tool designed to divide the trading day into distinct time blocks based on New York trading hours. Developed for TradingView, this indicator helps traders identify and analyze market behavior during specific time periods throughout the trading session. The indicator displays six consecutive time blocks, each representing 90-minute segments of the trading day, while tracking price ranges within each block.

## Core Concept
The Time Cycles indicator is built on the premise that different periods during the trading day often exhibit unique market characteristics and behaviors. By segmenting the trading day into standardized 90-minute blocks, traders can:

1. Identify recurring patterns at specific times of day
2. Compare price action across different time blocks
3. Recognize potential support and resistance levels based on the high and low of previous time blocks
4. Develop time-based trading strategies specific to certain market hours

## Time Block Structure
The indicator divides the trading day into six sequential 90-minute blocks based on New York time:

1. **Box 1**: 07:00 - 08:30 ET
2. **Box 2**: 08:30 - 10:00 ET
3. **Box 3**: 10:00 - 11:30 ET
4. **Box 4**: 11:30 - 13:00 ET
5. **Box 5**: 13:00 - 14:30 ET
6. **Box 6**: 14:30 - 16:00 ET

These time blocks cover the core US trading session from pre-market into regular market hours.

## Visual Representation
Each time block is represented on the chart as a visual box that:

- Spans the exact time period of the block (horizontally)
- Extends from the highest high to the lowest low recorded during that time period (vertically)
- Is displayed with customizable colors and transparency levels
- Automatically builds in real-time as price action develops

Additionally, the indicator draws dashed projection lines that:

- Display the high and low of the most recently completed time block
- Extend forward in time (for up to 24 hours)
- Help traders identify potential support and resistance levels

## Technical Implementation
The indicator employs several key technical features:

1. **Time Detection**: Accurately identifies the current New York time to place each box in the correct time period
2. **Dynamic Box Creation**: Initializes and updates boxes in real-time as price action develops
3. **Range Tracking**: Continuously monitors and adjusts the high and low of each active time block
4. **Projection Lines**: Creates horizontal dashed lines projecting the high and low of the most recently completed time block
5. **Daily Reset**: Automatically resets all boxes and lines at the start of each new trading day
6. **Customization**: Allows users to set custom colors and transparency levels for each time block

This Time Cycles indicator provides traders with a structured framework for analyzing intraday market movements based on specific time periods. By understanding how the market typically behaves during each 90-minute block, traders can develop more targeted strategies and potentially identify higher-probability trading opportunities throughout the trading day.
